Exogenously applied salicylic acid maintains redox homeostasis in salt-stressed Arabidopsis gr1 mutants expressing cytosolic roGFP1

TL;DR: In this paper, Salicylic acid (SA) can be used for chemical hardening to alleviate oxidative stress in plants exposed to salinity, and the role of GR in the maintenance of cytoplasmic redox homeostasis after hardening by SA was investigated.

Fungal endophytes alleviate drought-induced oxidative stress in mandarin (Citrus reticulata L.): Toward regulating the ascorbate–glutathione cycle

TL;DR: Overall, fungal endophyte inoculation improved drought tolerance and reduced the accumulation of ROS by increasing their scavenging via improving the redox state of ascorbate and glutathione and promotion of antioxidant enzymes activity.

Oxidant and antioxidant signalling in plants: a re-evaluation of the concept of oxidative stress in a physiological context

TL;DR: It is proposed that the oxidative stress syndrome would be more usefully described as 'oxidative signalling', that is, an important and critical function associated with the mechanisms by which plant cells sense the environment and make appropriate adjustments to gene expression, metabolism and physiology.

Glutathione in plants: an integrated overview.

TL;DR: How alterations in glutathione status, such as those observed during stress, may participate in signal transduction cascades are discussed and how these alterations are integrated to fine-tune photorespiratory and respiratory metabolism and to modulate phytohormone signalling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotechnological approach of improving plant salt tolerance using antioxidants as markers.

TL;DR: The role of different antioxidants as potential selection criteria for improving plant salt tolerance has been critically discussed and the potential of this approach in counteracting stress-induced oxidative stress has been discussed at length in this review.
